My name is Daniel Gillie. I was recently released from prison as a registered person in Texas about 3 months ago. During my time in prison I found out how little education the State of Texas gives you in regards to registration. Finding this out motivated me to learn all the rules and requirements of registration, and eventually, my wife and I decided to make a book out of it to help other people.
The book is called ” The Texas Registrants’ Guide” and it is currently available on Amazon in e-book and print format. My wife and I will be updating the book every legislative session to keep up with new laws and changes to existing ones.
Read more and optionally buy the book
That’s kinda kool African-Americans used to have a similar book called the green book, they would use it when traveling throughout the United States so they knew what towns not to stop in.
The flipside to writing such a book is, if he violates any Registry law, the district attorney is gonna say he willfully broke the law because he knows the law. He’s actually written a book on the registry laws in Texas.
People gotta be careful, certain things that you say or do can seem harmless at the time, but turn around and come back and bite you in the butt, Since he wrote this book on Texas registry laws, he has to literally live a perfect registered life like he has to be completely compliant He can’t do nothing wrong and I’m pretty sure the local authorities are going to be watching and waiting whit their new high tech drones to lock him up.
Now we need a book on federal sorna regs and rules from every TX municipality against people forced to register. Just trying to make the point that there are layers of rules against us.
I should buy two books and send to one of my prior le officers and to one of my prior probation officers as neither knew the rules. I was always calling both of them out for trying to make me comply with things that were not required by statute and I refused to comply with their requests outside the statutes. Probation department did retaliate against me for not complying with their requests outside the statutes. But in the long run, I outlasted them as a judge shut them down for the retaliation.
This post is exactly what’s wrong. We shouldn’t NEED a “guide” to navigate walking a tightrope. This is like selling a book in Hell on how to stay cool.
All 50 states should provide the registry laws including exclusion zones. Since the registry is civil shouldn’t a booklet be provided as a service. Even with the every expansion of registration laws and rules we have one of the lowest re-offense rates, however that doesn’t fit the status quo of those in pantsuits and suits.
